Don't pay attention to people who drag you for not knowing everything about the past. That's why shows like this are important, so history is not forgotten or ceases to be taught.
For a really interesting video that lays out the scope of WWII, I suggest the video The Fallen of World War II. It lays out the scope of the war in an easy to understand, interesting, and touching way. It also has an important lesson about where the world has gone in terns of war since the end of WWII. IMO the video deserves whatever sort of award it would be eligible for lol.
Thank you 🙏🏾 ❤️
@@cuethecommentary Definitely need to check out that video. It’s powerful without being graphic at all
@@nielgregory108 Not everyone has the luxury of a good, uninterrupted, or complete education. Don't be a dick.
As a history teacher I support this.
It’s embarrassing that someone of her age did not know what a concentration camp was. Absolutely shocking.
The extras in the camp were played by cancer patients and people who had eating disorders who volunteered to portray the Jewish race and what they had done to them
The actors were primarily cancer patients, most at the tail end of their terminal illness who volunteered due to the importance. The actors playing the soldiers weren’t shown the camp until filming, so most of this was genuine shock. In terms of who was in these camps, it ranged from Poles, to Roma, Communists, basically anyone who opposed the German regime. But primarily the Holocaust was directed towards Jews, whom were named “enemies of the state” and part of the final solution, decided in 1942. The final solution and it’s cruelty wiped 16% of the polish population off of the earth. The one the “Russians liberated” was Auschwitz, which was the primary death camp of WWII. Would highly recommend taking a virtual tour of it to learn more!
My grandmother's brother, Uncle Tommy, was one of the nicest, kindest, and friendliest people you'd ever met. Never had an unkind bone in his body, never felt a second of bigotry or hatred toward anyone, no matt6er your religion, your skin color, where you were from... he was just one of those people who got along with everyone. To me and my siblings and cousins, he was one of the "fun uncles." He's play board games with you, or take you to movies, or buy you a soda and so on Nicest guy on the planet, and he was nice to everybody.
Unless you were German, or of German descent, in which case he wanted nothing to do with you, and if forced to interact with you, he was curt, short, and blunt -- really on the edge of being rude to you. I never knew why until after he died and my Aunt Doris (Jimmy's wife) told me that during World War II, Jimmy served in the 6th Armored Division and took part in the liberation of the Buchenwald concentration camp. He never told anyone the specifics of what he saw, but it was enough to make him dislike the German people for the rest of his life.
My great great uncle served with the 26th Infantry Division during the war. I never met the man and my mom said he never talked about the war. All that my great great aunt said was that he drank very heavily because he had to bury the dead bodies. But otherwise, he was a gentle soul.
Years after he passed, my aunt finds some newspapers along with his division patch and gives them to me since I’m the only one in my family interested in the war. I read the papers and I find out he was awarded the Combat Infantryman Badge in 1944.
However, I also looked up the division’s history and found out how they liberated the Gusen Concentration Camp. No one in my family knew. I’m only speculating here, but I feel as if this might have contributed more to the drinking than the war itself (not saying war isn’t terrible, rather the concentration camp pushed him over the edge).
@@edm240b9 Very similar story about a great uncle. After the war he opened a bakery in Detroit. I remember taking a trolley to the bakery as a kid and getting to pick out cookies. He told everyone he was a cook in the army. He was a hard, hard core alcoholic. He had alcoholics foot. He drank so much that it affected his circulation eventually resulting in his feet then legs being amputated. He kept right on drinking. I recall my grandmother and great aunt talking about him drinking himself to death. After he died, my dad and uncle went through his things for my aunt. They found a CIB and bronze star. After 55 years of marriage, his own wife had no idea he had seen combat and received a medal for bravery. She just thought he was an alcoholic who served as a cook.
So was my Uncle Chuck. He was a tank Sgt. Liberated the German camps. In the early 1990s, before he got alzeimers I interviewed him for my college thesis. He spoke very candidly about the war. I guess he wanted us to know before he was gone. I gave the tapes to my cousin who always had a rocky relationship with his father. He said that you could smell the camps before you saw them, and 50 years later if he closed his eyes he could still smell them. It crazy that so many people want to deny what happened.
Never fired his weapon in combat. How is that possible? Let me explain. Winters is an Infantry Officer - his job is to lead his men and kill the enemy. Nixon is not. Nixon in an Intelligence Officer. His main is to gather military intelligence that can benefit his unit and larger units. You might ask what is Intelligence? Intelligence, militarily speaking, means gathering enemy information - like, what specific enemy unit is on front of them, hw many soldiers does that enemy unit have, what's their morale, how many tanks does the enemy unit have, how many pieces of artillery do they have, etc., etc. So again, Nixon's main job is not to shoot his weapon, his main job is to gather information (called S2 - Military Intelligence Officer)
I thought he was S3, Operations?
Your innocence is why this episode should be compulsory viewing in every school. Never let it be forgotten. It happened again in the Balkans during the war there, but no ovens or gas chambers. Man didn’t learn and must be aware and held accountable.
they did show me this scene in school. But god damn this lady seems like she's never heard of the Holocaust wtf.....
_Your innocence is why this episode should be compulsory viewing in every school._
Its usefulness would be limited by the fact that the camp liberation and associated scenes are fictional. Easy Company never liberated any camps.
@@iammanofnature235 That was not a detail that mattered. Seriously.
@@KevinLyda
_That was not a detail that mattered. Seriously._
I beg to differ. If something is a historical re-enactment or a fictional representation does in fact matter. Seriously! But there are a lot of people who get their history from watching fictionalized movies, and that is sad.
@@iammanofnature235 You're right that it wasn't Easy Company, but another unit from the 101 Airborne and the 12 Armored that liberated Landsberg (well, the entire Kaufering complex), however Easy Company was at the camp right after it's liberation. Donald Malarkey and Dick Winters both wrote about being there.
My father fought in WW2. He had a set of books called the "The Pictorial History Of The Second World War" that we kept in a bookcase in the hall that led to the front door. I would occasionally pull out one of the ten volumes, sit on the floor and look through at the pictures and read the stories, especially after listening to the war stories my father had shared.
When I was about 9 years old, I was looking at the volume that contained pictures of the liberation of the concentration camps. The pictures of piles of corpses and mass graves. My father happened along and noticed which pictures I was studying and said, "Don't ever let anyone tell you that never happened. I was there. I saw that with my own eyes."
I will never forget that! My dad was my hero.
🙏🏾❤️
My Uncle liberated the German camps and said the same thing to me...
You should probably watch Schindlers List. It's incredibly difficult to watch but it tells a true story about the Holocaust
You should watch Shindler's List to get a complete picture.
"I don't know much about Hitler. Do I want to know?" That may be the best question you've asked so far, and I would argue yes. You have to be able to recognize evil, and there's no other word for the Third Reich. The things they did to their fellow human beings in the name of racial purity almost defies imagination, but they did it, and learning about Hitler is a way of recognizing that evil when it crops up again. He wasn't unique, he wasn't extraordinary. His people were desperate, and more than happy to blame others for their misfortune. He gave the Germans people to hate and they gave him absolute power. It can happen again.
I would recommend watching Schindler's List as the most expressive movie about the Holocaust, and watching Downfall as the best view of who Hitler was, as well as the assorted monsters who helped him.
It’s okay that you didn’t know. History is important and that’s why we learn! You’re doing more to learn than most are. You’re doing great
im a former soldier ( australian ) now im a historian of sorts , i can tell you this is the watered down version of what happened , truth is it was far far worse , a friend of mine is a historian and i remember his sister ( im guessing wanted to at tat moment wanted to connect with her brother more ) wanted to watch a holocaust docco with me , i thought how long before she nopes out of it ,,,, we didnt even get to the point where they established the camps , there was a photo of a grandma her daughter and her daughter being lined up with a firing squad in front of them and that was enough for ness , she asked me : why am i in to this kind of thing , i said im not ,,, its one thing to say the nasties were bad its another thing to say how bad exactly you need to know everything , she only saw 1% of how bad they were and that was enough , funnily enough another question i get is : why did everyone just go along with it ? ,,, that used to be a long convoluted answer , now all i say is have a good look around , exactly like this ,
china with the uyghur muslims , the middle east with modern day black sl##ery , the congo with child laborers mining cobolt , the world economic forum trying to dictate what we own , what energy we use , what money is worth , and the lgbt movement convincing kids to chop things of or cut things out before they can have kids ( basically genocide ) , young women in america being told the only form of contraception is abortion ( yes there are valid reasons but there are ways of not getting pregnant in the first place ) another form of genocide ,
its 1939 all over again
you didn't see the numbers in this. Almost 300.000 went through Buchenwald alone. "Why did they go along with it." I also used to give a long answer, but at the end of the day... Some hated the Jews/gays/gypsies/communists, some were indifferent, some just went along, some "did their duty", some felt a sense of power. No different than what we see every day.
You are comparing voluntary sex change operations to the Holocaust? Shame on you.
The actors in the Concentration Camp were mostly patients with cancer, were undergoing chemotherapy or radiation treatments which is why most were so thin. Some of those on the ground or in the train were not living people, but figurines built by special teams. The camp and what the actors in it would do were mostly kept secret from the actors who were the soldiers. So, many of their reactions of shock and sadness were authentic. Also, rotting meat was spread out of the ground to give a terrible smell to the place to help create the idea of the dead or burned bodies left by the Nazis.
I visited one of these camps, at Dachau, during the 90s. It was a strange and sobering experience. There was very little left, just foundations on the ground, and it was a nice sunny day. But you could feel a tangible sense of evil in the air that is unlike anything I've encountered before or since. I don't believe in ghosts, psychic crap, or anything like that. But I felt cold in the warm sun and wanted to leave. Some of the visitors had brought small children. None of them were acting the way children usually do when bored by adult trips. They were quiet, fretful, staying very close to their parents at all times. When I finally left I felt deep relief.
🥺
What we do in life, echoes through eternity. Great acts of unfathomable evil took place in those areas, and that sort of energy leaves a lasting imprint. There are countless spots like that scattered throughout Europe, some from the world wars, some from ancient times. What is weird is that some of them heal, and some of them do not. There are places of concentrated evil in this world, and there is more between heaven and earth than the eye sees. The trick, is learning to open yourself to the it as indisputable fact, because once you do, ou will wonder why you never saw it before.
I visited Dachau in 2000 while stationed in Germany and I had the exact same experience. Like you I felt like there's an air of darkness that covers that place.
I had a similar experince at Normandy beach and the Gettysburg battlefield. Like it's still in the air.
As painful as it is to think about, without remembering the brutality of history we are doomed to repeat it in the future. We must never forget.
100% agree!!! Unfortunately, most of this country now, has a learning disability
@@michaelholt3222 so true
You’re doing a great job with these reactions, I love watching them.
This episode is just a drop in the bucket of the Holocaust.. I truly recommend learning more about it. Watch films and documentaries. It’s a terrible part of history but it’s extremely important to learn about it so we know not to repeat it.
I recommend Schindler’s list and The Pianist. Both true stories of that time. Like slavery The holocaust is important not to shy away from and learn as much as we can so we know what not to do to other human beings.
God bless.
Yes, this. I had recommended Schindler's List, but forgotten about The Pianist. Jacob the Liar and The Boy in the Striped Pajamas are also good ones.
@@rob7953 I prefer only true stories. The Boy in the striped pajama isn’t true, while very very sad, it’s better to listen to and watch true accounts. Defiance is another good one.
Surprised you didn’t realize right away what this camp was
It takes your breath away, the reality of it.
Yes, and in many ways it is happening again in Ukraine. Slava Ukrainne!
I would really recommend to watch Schindler's List movie
I find it pretty alarming that reactor who was many hours into a story about World War 2 did not seem to recognize what was being depicted. Even after it was explained, it was like she had never heard of it before. Are schools not teaching history? Are people really forgetting it?
It’s less a question of “forgetting” and more an issue of funding being cut for American public schools. Teachers are being restricted financially and operationally, so they’re less effective at their jobs, and students don’t always have the resources they need to learn, up to and including proper nutrition.
It’s pretty insidious when a whole political party takes lessons from dictatorial political systems and shapes society to be underinformed, deliberately misinformed, and financially oppressed because the more educated and financially stable someone is, the harder it is to control them.
@@daddynitro199 I agree with most of what you said, except I would say that both political parties in the US promote these bad educational outcomes. The Republicans underfund public schools because they claim it doesn't work and it teaches "leftist ideology." The Democrats support the teacher unions often to the detriment of the needs of parents/students. Neither party can consistently achieve high educational standards with the general student populace.
So we are fooling ourselves if we think that Democrat or Republican elected officials will ever do the necessary things for good educational outcomes. It benefits both sides to keep the population misinformed and dumb. In the end, there is only really one party because they all answer to the same people/entities. The system doesn't work.
@@scratchpenny I disagree with your assertion that “there’s only one party.” Democrats are certainly not perfect, but they’re not actively trying to sell the country out for a couple of bucks and a pat on the back from a hostile foreign interest.
@@daddynitro199 Sorry mate, but I've sat in in some public schools in the poorer parts of the Philippines, and looked at their curriculum. Their national budget on education's a couple of _orders of magnitude_ less than that of the US. The kids are thin as rails, had to _walk_ several kilometers of *mountain trail* just to get to school, and lunch is usually just a small cup of rice, a few spoonfuls of meat, and _maybe_ some fruit.
Guess what, even _they_ know what the Holocaust was. It's part of their 3rd Year HS curriculum (Geography, History, and Civics: World History). Some of them are even lucky enough to watch _Band of Brothers_ or _Schindler's List_ on an old donated CD-R player.
Really, the US can't use "the budget" or some other nonsense to explain how dismal its education system is, when other countries with far, *far,* less can still teach _at least_ the really big stuff, like language skills, local and global civics and history, and math.
But hey, at least Americans know that there's a problem with their education system. Best solution really here's to kick out *any* politician that won't prioritize solving it. Cheers!
@@alcor4670 I'm asking the same question as the original poster, but it's important to note that education here is state by state, locality by locality. So the curriculum is different everywhere. I have seen history curriculum be cut entirely from some school systems in favor of a focus on STEM. That's part of the problem. Another part of the problem is making history an elective So kids get to circumvent it entirely if they want.
When I was in high school we had to watch Schindler's list. We also went to see Elie Wiesel speak. In 10th grade we went to the Holocaust museum in DC. This was all part of the World War II unit that we studied in history. This was 2001. Barely 20 years ago.
You should react to "The Fallen of WW2". It a fantastic video about the human cost of WW2. The USA military averaged 500 deaths per day from December 7, 1941 to the Japanese surrender in 1945. Over 500,000 combat dead, we were not really invaded and had very minimal civilian casualties. Many countries had millions of dead. There were about 6 million Jews liquidated by the Germans. Great reaction.
My grandmother came to the US as a 19 year old single woman in 1899. Her family stayed behind. 5 of her American children fought in WWII. At war's end the youngest, my uncle Marty was able to make his way to see his Grandmother. He was the only American grandchild she ever met and the village was petrified because they didn't know what this "American Soldier" wanted w/ her.
I can never forget as a kid in 50's-60's NY, when the owner of the candy store reached for something and we could see the numbers tattooed on his forearm. We would go silent because we knew what that meant.
There is a Band of Brothers podcast that some of the cast and directors spoke about the making and the stories behind the stories and I really enjoyed the extra insight
Why We Fight was the name of a series of propaganda films made during the war to increase morale at home. These were made by Frank Capra, director of It’s a Wonderful Life, Mr Smith Goes to Washington, and It Happened One Night.
This is brilliant. The episode starts off with the vets talking about how similar they were to the common German soldier. We like Luz and Perconte but we are concerned for the girl in the barn. Winters, our hero, displaces a family without thinking twice. Nixon destroys personal property to get booze. Spiers loots almost everything. These aren’t the guys we met in episode 1. They seem like Nazis, almost.
And then all of a sudden the difference becomes clear.
If you try to explain the Holocaust, it can take years of study and it still won’t be clear. If you get to visit Washington, D.C. you SHOULD visit the Holocaust Museum. You will probably need to make reservations so plan carefully. There are some movies that might help a little, Schlinder’s List and Judgement at Nuremberg are very good.
Trying to explain anti-semitism is kind of like trying to explain any kind of racism. It isn’t logical. It is evil. It can do a lot of harm. Maybe we can understand something from Robert Burns, the poet:
Tis Nature's law, That man was made to mourn. Man's inhumanity to man Makes countless thousands mourn!
The prisoners in the camp were played by cancer victims, some of them terminal.
You can die if you eat too quickly when you are starving, seems backwards but it’s true. It takes energy, calories, to digest food. For people that have no calorie reserves just eating can burn up what little they have. So doctors would start with liquids, a soup rich in vitamins and protein, not fiber. When the victim gains some strength solids can be started.
If you are still looking for non-war movies to watch, many reactors have had success with Field of Dreams and A League of Their Own. These are both great. You don’t need to be a baseball fan to enjoy these.
My late uncle helped liberate Gunskirchen, a sub-camp of Mauthausen. Almost 50 years later, he said that all he had to do was close his eyes and he could see and smell the place...
learn history to help make sure mistakes don't happen again.
When President Eisenhower (then General, Supreme Allied Commander) gathered the whole town in the square and told the Burgermeister (mayor) that they made him feel ashamed his last name was Eisenhower.
As odd as it might sound you can absolutely eat yourself to death when you're starving to the point those prisoners were. Its called refeeding syndrome. Basically when you're that deprived of food the phosphate levels in your blood are extremely low and if you suddenly start eating, especially a large amount of food like starving people would be inclined to, the chemical processes triggered by the increase in your metabolism cause the phosphate levels in your blood to drop. Its a temporary thing and harmless to a normal healthy person but in someone in their condition it can cause them to drop so low it triggers heart failure. Its an extremely rare condition and was only discovered during the war. Mostly from prisoners like these. But it was first noticed at stalingrad by the germans themselves, when severely starving soldiers were prescribed high fat meat paste to treat their malnutrition and were suddenly dropping dead shortly after, despite being unwounded and otherwise healthy. The german medical staff didn't understand what was going on and didn't have the facilities to examine the bodies properly, but when the 6th army surrendered the russians found the medical notes about it and sent them off to the allies and their own medical schools to determine what had happened, which is why the american medics knew about it here and told them to stop feeding them
That said, the camp was one of the details the series messed up a bit on. Its supposed to be dachau, which was almost entirely political prisoners, certain special pows and anyone the government considered a political enemy. Few of them would have been jews, those ones would have been mostly sent to poland at that point to far worse camps than this one. Ironically one of the prisoners they would have liberated here was a former member of the government and ended up on trial at nuremberg. That said, what they showed on this series was considerably toned down in terms of how horrifying what they saw there really was at the time, for obvious tv rating reasons
Also you mentioned how messed up a person has to be to have any part of doing something like this, i'd say it takes a special kind of absolute psycho. Some had problems with what they did and turned to alcohol or went nuts, but most of the ones in the camps (which were staffed by specific units trained and recruited specifically for working in the camps) had really weird mentalities about it. We watched the grey zone in high school and i'd say harvey keitel did a brilliant job of portraying that kind of attitude in it. He flat out told the prisoners to look outside at the crematorium because 'thats how it will go for all of us. first you then us. the last thing to do is smile' which is about as bizarre and psychotic a mentality as it gets and really shows what kind of people were a part of it. They knew what would happen to them when the germans lost and didn't care. The weirdest part though was the women guards tended to be the worst of them. Its like that saying men can be cruel but an evil woman can be truly vicious about it
I am glad you are learning about World History. This series does an incredible job at helping so many of us learn about these brave men.
The other thing that I appreciated is your sincere gratitude to our US Veterans. This is why many people are upset when people disrespect our flag, and not stand for our National Anthem. These men that are being portrayed in this series, fought and died for this Country our flag and many other people from these European countries who had lost their freedoms at the hands of Evil men. Every military member who dies not just in battle, receives it carefully folded American flag that is presented to their loved ones, and that flag symbolizes the sacrifices that they made on behalf of a grateful nation. I think that it’s very possible that many young kids today have zero understanding about WWI, and WWII and that’s a failure on our education system. I think all kids should at some point be required to watch Band of Brothers, to really opens their minds, eyes and hearts. Now that you have seen this series wouldn’t you say that you have learned and grown from watching this? Keep watching films like this, like Hacksaw Ridge, Saving Private Ryan, The Pacific, American Sniper, or Zero Dark thirty. You won’t be disappointed!
_This series does an incredible job at helping so many of us learn about these brave men._
Unfortunately, Band of Brothers gives them more credit than they actually deserve. For example, Easy Company never liberated any camps as shown in episode 9 nor did they capture Berchtesgaden and the Eagle's Nest as shown in episode 10. Give them praise for what they actually did but not for things they didn't do.
I was taught about the holocaust in school, the fact they are no longer teaching about it in schools to many people really explains the current state we are in, looks like we are doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past.
The fact you are learning about history and bringing light to it with your video is commendable and something you should be very proud of.
You should watch Schindler’s List to learn more about Hitlers extermination of the Jewish ppl. Also, the short video The Fallen of World War 2 is a good watch.
I'm glad that this was a teachable moment for you, but how the fuck did you not know about Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Holocaust? We were taught about this when I was 11-years-old.
Learning and the discovery of new facts --history--comes in many forms. It's a story that needs to be told.
This is the hardest episode to watch. Great reaction pleased watch we stand alone together.
What's dangerous about eating after starvation: when you starve for a long time your body tries to save itself. It only keeps your heart, brain, and lungs getting priority. It takes energy to run your stomach, and restarting eating needs to be done very carefully under medical supervision. Not to mention your stomach and intestines having shrunk from malnutrition.
The Holocaust is one of the ugliest most cruel things humanity has done to itself. I know this video is so hard to watch but it's so important to learn so we can avoid repeating the crimes of the past.
In the 1960s my dad worked with an army vet who took part in liberating one of the camps during the war. He told my dad you couldn't believe people could the things he saw to other people. Apparently there were some types of "medical" experiments being performed.
Dr Mengele. He did genetic tests on twins, effects of hypothermia using Russia prisoners as human test animals.
Experiments injecting different things into the human body to see reactions. Live dissections.
The medical community debated for a long time, do you use his research? Especially effects of hypothermia. What if it saved other lives?
This is why people fight for the right to keep and bear arms.
Amen
When you are done with Band of Brothers, I highly recommend you watch Schindler's List. It is a brilliant film based on a true story that will help you to understand some of what was going on under Nazi rule. But it also shows great humanity in the face of such atrocities. One piece of advice though...bring a tissue. The actors portraying the prisoners in this episode were mostly cancer patients. The crew was very worried about their health during filming and wanted to stop early on the days they filmed. But they insisted on continuing as they felt it was so important to depict in some small way the horrors of this chapter in history.
There's nothing wrong with not knowing something. What's wrong is when people don't attempt to gain the knowledge they lack. You see how amazing this show is and you want to know how they did it. You have a healthy curiosity and that is a great thing. You should keep wondering and finding out new things.
Love you. With you. It's horrifying how awful we can be to each other. Thank you so much for doing these reactions.
❤️❤️❤️
I'm new to your channel I am enjoying your reactions. It's great that you diving into these because these are things that we should never forget. I would like to suggest a movie Schindler's list it is a tough watch because of the heaviness of the topic. It is in my opinion 1 of Steven Spielberg's best works hope to see it on your channel.
Thanks and welcome
Keep promoting love, girl. We all need it.
I'm a smoker Dez and the reason we protect our lighter is there is nothing worse than having a cigarette and no light 😂😆
😂
Thanks for reacting to this the way you did.
Thank you 🙏🏾 ❤️
When you've been starved for long periods of time your body shuts down your digestive system to focus on other organs to keep you alive. If you are given too much food then your body can't handle it and you can rupture your stomach and such. So you need to be given small amounts of food and be worked up over a long period of time to get your system working again. Lots of these liberated camp survivors died after being freed simply because their bodies had shut down too much and there was no way to help them
My german great uncle was shot on his doorstep in Germany for simply not rendering the Heil Hitler salute. My grandmother escaped and fled to the USA.
Last year i was finally able to get my hands on 2 org 1940 VAT69 Bottles and some newer "VAT69 Gold" which added nicely to my WW2 E/506th kit and is a big hit at WW2 weekend displays. in 2017 i got to work on a film with Ron Livingston (Nixon) so we got to chat about BOB and how we both tried to out drink Wild Bill & XXX and i got to thank him for doing this series and he signed my copy of BOB which is also signed by some of the other E co vets.

I don't believe that's correct. The _score_ may be in the public domain, but recordings of modern performances aren't necessarily. Anyone can record their own performance of Beethoven -- and copyright that recording.
Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer.
An interesting, intelligent reaction. Thanks. I'll check out a few more from your catalog. It looks like you've chosen some good material to react to.
One gets the impression that you've never heard of the Holocaust, but how can that be?
Thank you ❤️🙏🏾 yes I’ve heard of the Holocaust.
My friend Mike helped liberate Bergen Belsen concentration camp - he rarely talked about the war - except for that - because as he told me - it should never be forgotten and should never happen again. Sadly of course it has happened again and again to this day.
I hope you learn more about ww2 , and the good our military, country has saved, helped throughout the world. Yes, the USA is not perfect.
I did NOT mean that in a bad way but a horrible way our education system is not showing these things. Keep up the great work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Look upon Socialism and remember the Nazis for who they are
That's one of the evil thing of this criminal Nazi regime, probably the worst....yes ! we know why these brave allied soldiers fought for ! they saved us all from pure evil. Never forget. Thanks for your true reaction.
I think it's great that you appreciate all the technical details that the crew works so hard to pull off. Have you ever thought about a career in film? They make movies all over the US and the worlds now. You don't have to live in Hollywood. In fact, you probably have better chances for getting in the door in Atlanta or New Orleans.
On a completely different subject, you might want to watch Schindler's List. It's Steven Spielberg's retelling of a true story about the Holocaust. Beautifully done, of course, emotionally draining and truly educational.
To get better answer to question "what human can do", please watch either in your own time or as an reaction "Hotel Rwanda" 2004, "Mr. Jones" 2019, "Schindler's List", "Defiance" 2008, Europa Europa (1990) and after all that calm your nerves at "Jojo Rabbit" (2019). I promise it will be worth it.

What makes people do such evil? I had family on both sides of the Atlantic during WWII. My great grandma communicated with her sisters still in Germany by postcard. Her brother Otto was still in the army since WWI, he joined the Nazis late because he saw that you could get quick promotions if you joined the party. Don't know a lot about what he did (allegedly he was in the Luftwaffe) but his sisters wrote very excited about all the promised "stuff" the Nazis were going to give them once the "stolen wealth" was "redistributed" which was the popular euphemism so no one had to admit they were talking about murdering people. Houses, cars, vacations the Nazis promised lots of free stuff and all you had to do was keep your mouth shut and do what you were told. Then the war started and the postcards stopped. At the end of the war Otto phoned home, told them to destroy all documents involving himself, never mention his name again, and then he self ended. Gotta assume he was involved in very bad stuff.
So in the case of uncle Otto and my great aunts it was simple greed and ambition while repeating the big lies to themselves as they averted their eyes from the evil around them. Everyone in Germany knew what was happening. They just kept telling themselves there was nothing they could do while hoping to get a cut of the loot when all was done.
What do you mean, there able to work in Germany? Let me explain, when a unit is fighting and they forced the enemy to retreat, that unit occupies that area (all the villages, all the towns, etc.). In the military every soldier needs to receive their mail, so the military will set up a temporary post-office, not for the local civilian population, bur for all the military soldiers. The military post office is run by the military so soldiers can receive mail, send mail, etc. . I guess I don't understand your question?
Ii’m confused. You should have learned about this in your High School history class.
If no one explained about “eating yourself to death” if you starve long enough your stomach will shrink? Or lose it’s elasticity and if you eat too fast it could tear.
This is why history is important. It's really sad that they don't teach real history anymore.
Without a doubt, the hardest episode to watch, but, the most important to watch. "If anyone ever tells you the Holocaust didn't happen, or that it wasn't as bad as they say, no, it was worse than they say. What we saw, what these Germans did, it was worse than you can possibly imagine.” - Edward "Babe" Heffron
11:55 You can. When your starving, your body starts to shut down parts it does not need. Like your stomach and bowel, and reserves all the energy left to vital organs like heart, lungs and brain. If you eat too much too quickly, your stomach will take the energy left out those vital organs.
nice reaction. I recommend Schindler's list. keep a box of tissue handy
Alot of the actors for the death camp scenes were local cancer patients.
The danger of giving staving people too much food too quickly is called refeeding syndrome.
I know it was horrible, but thank you for sharing how it affected you. It's important that we never forget how evil human beings can get.
The actors in easy company were no allowed to see the camp before the scene was shot. They wanted the reactions to be real.
Yeah, you can eat yourself to death if you're starving, so it's really dangerous to let them eat as much as they feel they want. The surgeon was right, it made logical sense and came from a place of care and compassion, but it must have been horrible for those prisoners to have to stay there even another hour. At least they had something to look forward to at that point.
I also don't understand your question, how is he getting a divorce in combat? Let me explain. It's quite simple, happens all the time today!! The husband, in this case Richard Nixon, leaves for military duty. The wife doesn't want to continue with the marriage for whatever reason. Could be a anything. She files for divorce. That's it. Cruel, on the wife's part, but happen all the time.
It was not Richard Nixon it was Lewis Nixon
In real life, Nixon had a girlfriend in England that his wife found out about
Nix did cheat on her. In Ep. 5, he tells Winters he is going back to England to meet a lady he has been seeing there.
You did learn about the holocaust right? This reaction was amazing because you came across as if you didn't know what you were seeing. For that, what an amazing reaction!
Yes I did, in middle school. Which was along time ago
You seriously need to watch Schindler's List. In fact, every human being should watch that film.
And yes, you should learn more. There's an old saying, "those who don't learn from history are destined to repeat it." This is exactly the kind of thing that we, as a species, should never, ever repeat.
On getting actors that thin: Christian Bale (Batman) lost like 80 pounds to play in "The Fighter" You'd be amazed at what an actor will do.
Consider reaction to "Schindler's List" to learn more about Jews plight in WW2. Movie is an Oscar winner, great actors, plot is about real events and real people.
CONSIDER THE HORROR OF THIS, IN THE THREE YEARS MENTIONED, 1942 TO 1945, 11 MILLION HUMAN BEINGS WERE MURDERED!!! THAT BREAKS DOWN TO OVER 11,000 PEOPLE PER DAY FOR THREE YEARS RUNNING!!!! IT'S HARD TO EVEN WRAP YOUR HEAD AROUND THAT!!!😥😥😥

To fill you in a little more about the Holocaust; after WWI, Germany was paying for the entire war, even though they didn't start it. That led to a massive economic depression, and a lot of people who were angry at the humiliation and unfairness of it. It was all to easy for the Nazi Party to be formed and play on people's emotions while stirring their spirits with parades and speeches. The swastika, the symbol the Nazis used, is actually an ancient Hindu symbol representing good fortune, which appealed to the German people who were poor and suffering. Hitler directed their anger against Jews, blaming them for Germany's defeat in the war.
Hitler wanted everyone to hate Jews as much as he did. While the Nazi and SS officials certainly did, it's hard to say if the German people did. On a night called Kristallnacht, brown shirts in the Hitler Youth Program rioted and attacked Jewish owned stores. This actually generated sympathy for Jews in the German public. Pissed by this, Hitler had the Jews rounded up and placed in ghettos outside the city (telling the public it was for their safety, when in reality it was to hold them there until the camps were built) Out of sight, out of mind.
Most Germans did not know about the camps, as that was never made public knowledge. Those that did either supported it or kept their mouths shut out of fear of being sent to one of the camps. Despite this, there were many Germans who fought against Hitler, and many who risked everything to save people from death in those camps.
EDIT: The sad truth is, 11,000,000 is the rough estimate we can say for sure when it comes to the victims of the Holocaust. When the Nazis began losing occupied territory like France and Poland, they knew they would lose the war, and many would be executed for crimes against humanity for their part in the Holocaust. So they'd dig up mass graves and have the bodies burnt to ash. Any documents and files regarding prisoners were burned. Those who were in the midst of fleeing would shoot as many as they could before running; some Gestapo and SS officials tried destroying the camps with people still in them. Buchenwald was an example of this; the prisoners were able to hold off the Gestapo long enough to send a message to American forces and summon them to the camp for help.
Camps like what you saw were used for slave labor; working until they died from weakness, starvation, disease, or some random cruel death. The rest of the camps were death camps; where you were sent immediately to die. Massive camps like Auschwitz are believed to have killed over 200,000 people a day. I saw footage of people rescued who were experimented on in those camps during the Nuremberg Trials (the trials concerning judgement over the surviving Nazis responsible for the Holocaust) a number of them didn't even look human anymore.
***YOU SHOULD WATCH. SCHINDLERS LIST***
Yes, you should want to know about Hitler. You should also know about Stalin and Pol Pot and the brutal, genocidal wars in places like Rwanda and Yugoslavia. If they are never learned about in the first place, it's worse than being forgotten.
I suggest watching a documentary called ‘The U.S and the holocaust’ by Ken Burns, excellent documentary
I highly recommend schindlers list
"The only thing necessary for evil to triumph in the world is that good men do nothing." - Edmund Burke.
In this episode you get a very tiny glimpse of the Holocaust - the Nazi's systematic killing of more than 6 million Jews, as well as Poles, Roma (Gypsies), the handicapped, the mentally disabled, etc.
You never win by trying to argue "who was more evil", but our Russian allies were led by Josef Stalin, who supervised the murder of probably more than 20 million of his own people during his time in power. To say nothing of the crimes of Mao Tse Tung in China who had no issue with the deaths of 40-80 million Chinese. Communism, Fascism, Nazism....doesn't matter what sort of totalitarian government you have - it always turns out the same. Millions die.
6:00 Perconte and Speirs didn't smoke, either...
They had actual cancer patients playing the parts of the prisoners
I enjoy your reactions to this true series ...but I've deduced that the reason you appear clueless is because you must've not paid one bit of attention in history classes growing up.... It's mandatory in history class to be taught about the existence of concentration camps of the Jewish and displaced peoples during WW2.
When I hear Americans whining about being a minority in this country.... I remind them to put that in perspective to others that have gone through an infinite more traumatizing conditions and foul treatments than them.... In America alone, let's not forget that the "native" American people had it worse than any other "minority" peoples in our country.
Worldwide, America pales in the horrors that have occurred to people , like the Jewish people ... Nearly six million exterminated along with another five million displaced peoples in those camps during the war.
This is the world we survive in....it ain't pretty. ❤ ✌ 🇺🇸 🌎
You can definitely eat yourself to death. I fractured my face and played nice with the doctors. Listened to them. Liquid diet for 6 weeks. I moved to fast into solid food when I got the all clear to start. Let's just say my guts didn't transition back as fast as my appetite after a sudden "no food for you" diet. Camp members obviously had it much harder. Far longer restrictions, absolutely no say in what they could get. (Milk would probably be an unheard-of luxury outside of specialized work facilities). And of course no doctor warned me because they're all focused on the bones in my face and not my digestive tract. It was a painful lesson.
Hitler and the higher up nazis did not do the killing, it was ordinary germans... In fact Himmler the leader of the SS visited a camp and threw up, that s when he ordered the use of gas chambers to "sanitize" the whole process. It s really messed up what they did. Real sadists I can recommend a few books or linnks if you re curious but its pretty fucked up stuff.. still should not be forgotten
If you want to learn and a true grit of what it was like for these people please react to Schindler's List.
If your starving , you can eat to much to quickly and it can expand your stomach possibly causing it to burst
Unfortunately eating yourself to death while in the condition these prisoners are in is very possible. Once your body has gotten to a certain level of starvation, it is not able to properly take in nutrients. These people weren’t just starved for a couple weeks or months - this was going on for years. There are many accounts of people dying shortly after being liberated.
Wow 🥺💔
You should react to "the fallen of WWII".
I understand you blurring out the repulsive scenes in this episode, but, everyone needs to remember...lest we forget 😢
Watch Schindler’s List
Germany after WW1 was a democracy according to The Treaty Of Versailles. In 1933 the National Socialist Workers Party (Nazis) campaigned on racial purity, border expansion and against the Treaty Of Versailles. The German people elected them. Along with the racism!
I'm a retired electronic technician on an offshore drilling rig, the part Mark Wahlberg plays in Deepwater Horizon. A true story that people need to know what British Petroleum got away with. My son was installing a GPS system on a boat at the time and was one of the first to arrive to pick up survivors. 3 survivors and 2 bodys.
This one was hard to watch, the next episode may bring a smile.
Im not trying too sound derogatory but its hard for me to fathom that a grown adult doesn’t know what the holocaust was. There’s something very wrong with out school systems.
6:34. "Wir sind keine Nazis" is German for "We're not Nazis".
fighting for good is a matter of opinion or which side you were on
I'd you did not know about this then maybe you should watch the movie Schindler's List
